Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 27th October 2025.

27th October, 2025.

Right: I’m officially not up, early, today.

As … ?

My weight management class is off, for the week.

It’s been replaced by a unlisted Slipper Swap.

I’m not going … as the pair I have seem OK at the moment.

Although I might just pass the details on to other people I know: just in case.

~≈🩴≈~

Just in case you’re interested … ?

I finally managed to catch a movie, on Friday: the Danny Boyle directed, 28 Years Later.

Yes: you’re right.

My written and video reviews are now available!

You don’t have to watch it … but if you want to press the Like button Youtube so thoughtfully provides, that would be appreciated … !

~≈🧟‍♂️≈~

I don’t use it much: in fact, I think there’s only one or two specific pages I use it for.

But I have a copy of Google Chrome, both on my phone and on my Mac.

As far as I can tell, both have been updated to the most recent version.

I might want to double check my copies: as, apparently, there’s a serious security issue that needs addressing … 

~≈🕸️≈~

“It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn’t know what I was doing in New York.”

From The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, October 27, 1932 – February 11, 1963.

And a Bonnie Lou song …

The next ten question set is on 31st October: it’s about “Bohemian Rhapsody”.

Decisions about scores are final.

Thank you for coming: have a good day.

*        Great minds think, Olga!   :D   He says … !

        I know what you mean about the extra hours: I managed to get the tweets for the review done.   And watch a lot of stuff on YouTube.   Including a promising-looking piece about the ZX Spectrum that turned out to have an AI generated British accent.   I could tell it was AI: the ‘Z’ came out as a Zee.   I turned over … 

        (I’m on Quora: and see the occasional question about which AI speech generator is best.   I usually end up telling the poster to record the audio themselves: they know how to pronounce things better than the machine does … )
